- I went to Tibet for three weeks on my own, to a Buddhist school under an invitation of my mom’s friend. I basically just lived with a local family, cooked for them, went to school with the kids, taught them English, Chinese, and Math. I’ve been planning to start a charity organization but haven’t gotten any change yet. I tried looking for help from Rotary and my high schools but nothing worked out yet.
- I’ve been volunteering at a summer camp since 9th grade. Starting from a teacher assistant, I worked as a team leader, a teacher, and now logistics. It’s related to my intended major (one of them… at least)
- I volunteered as a member of my home Province’s women’s union. We basically went to an elementary school where all the kids’ parents worked away from home. Also about kids’ and psychology stuff.
- I did Robotics in my junior year. More specifically FRC. I was the leader of Inventor during the build season. I did the chairman presentation for my team, and drove our robot at Girls’ Gen, and won 1st place in state.
- Tennis, but only one year in my junior year. Received a varsity letter.
- I worked as a radio broadcaster at my high school in China, and I wrote my own news articles. But only for one year during which I stayed there.
- Math tutor at my high school in junior year
- art stuff. national art honor society, fashion club etc
- Rotary club!!
Summer Activities:
- the summer camp I mentioned above… idk if that counts as one. and nothing else besides that.

Teacher Rec #1:
my honors english teacher. I love her and she loves me hahahaha. I think it’s a 10, but I haven’t read it yet.
Teacher Rec #2:
ap calc bc teacher. I’ve only met him on week when he said that I was his favorite student of all time. I did read his letter either but I bet it’s good, so 10.
Teacher Rec #3:
my ap psych teacher. I asked him questions almost everyday. and I’m always the one who’s earliest to class so probably he’ll write a good one. but he doesn’t know me as much… I submitted it because I wanted to be a psych major. 8/10
Counselor Rec:
She doesn’t know me much but she said she liked to work with me and she cried reading my common app essay so probably a 9??
Additional Rec:
both of my host moms in my junior year and senior year wrote me one. I guess it’s a different perspective, which shows me as a person in real life. I love both of them and I think they are both 10s.
